What does X Saffron smell like?

Ginger and pink pepper give it a fresh, sharp start. In the heart, cinnamon, iris and Kashmiri saffron balance the spice with a soft floral touch. The base of musk, oakmoss and sandalwood sets a woody, faintly leathery ground, with a fruity note running through it.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and leisure, night out and evening wear score about equally. More voters read it as masculine, though it wears comfortably as unisex. Odyssey Low-Key and Happyland Studio Blue Fire have a close profile.
